I received a pristine O3A3 and want to take it out for some fun.
So what's the closest match that I can buy over the counter for the original spec'ed ammo?
Thanks

Another option if you're looking for something other than M2 ball.

“The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."

I'm looking at this and thinking how much money I will save if I reload it.
A buck to two bucks a pop, interesting...
Thanks !!

Prvi Partizan 150gr FMJ can be ordered online for 65 cents per round + shipping, which comes to about 68 cents per round in my area. http://www.bulkammo.com/bulk-30-06-s...rvim1nocan-500.
Privi Partizan brass is decent for reloading. I reload IMI 147g FMJ projectiles with IMR 4895 or H4895 and Winchester LR primers at a cost of about 38 cents per round. The load is good enough to shoot 2-1/2" 10 shot groups at 100 yards out of my 1903A1 if I do my part.
For shooting at 100 yards, you can reload a reduced charge weight round with H4895 that chronographs at 2500 fps. It is pleasant to shoot and accurate enough to shoot a reduced course High Power match.
Walmart sells Winchester 180g SP ammunition in the silver box in my area at about $1 per round. It is surprisingly accurate at 565 yards when fired through my JRA 1903A4.

Recently snagged one of these for my Garand fodder but haven't had the opportunity to shoot any yet:

.68 per round plus shipping
I've dealt with SGAmmo many times and have no complaints, it may be a smidge more but I like dealing with reliable folks.
